Money transfer providers assist in transferring money from one point to another. The receiver can either, get money at their agent’s location or have the money deposited to their account. Our page shows the money transfers you can use to send money to Tanzania. To get started comparing your options, read through the providers above by transfer speed, fees, currency exchange and money received.
When sending money – it’s important to check the exchange rate beforehand to maximize the funds to be exchanged.
Also, read through the transfer process of the provider such as transfer fees, transfer options and transfer speed to set expectations for the receiver. Take note of any reference or tracking numbers should any transaction delays come up during the transit. A friendly reminder, exchange rates vary on a daily basis, the rate today may differ from the rate tomorrow. Observe the fluctuations of exchange rates more frequently days before you exchange your money.

Thank you for reaching out to finder.
Based on our comparison website of money sending companies on this guide, you may want to check up on RIA, WorldRemit or XE money transfer. Please note that sending money to Kenya would require your recipient to physically go to the agent location to receive the amount. Hope this helps!

Someone in India wants to send me money in Tanzania via my Vodacom M-Pesa account! which will the best way do it?
Where can get a WorldRemit branch in India?
is WorldRemit work in India?
Hi Nurdin,
Thanks for getting in touch with finder. I hope all is well with you. :)
We currently don’t have a page that lists providers who specifically send money from India to Tanzania. However, you can start your search using this page. Above, you could see a list of providers that could help you. Once you find the right provider, click on its “Go to site” green button. From there, you can then check if they handle transfers from India to Tanzania.
Regarding the Vodacom M-Pesa account, yes, it is possible to use this to make a transfer. With this method, you can receive money from abroad via Moneygram international transfer, directly into their M-Pesa accounts. However, please note that we are not permitted to provide specific recommendations and so, I can’t tell you which one is the best choice for you. What you can do is compare fees and see which provider offers the best rates.
Regarding WorldRemit, transfers are done online. You can visit their website to initiate your money transfer.
I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach us out again.
Have a wonderful day!

Does world first work as payoneer for I want to be paid online from platforms such as clickbank and am looking for an alternative to payoneer can this work for I am in Tanzania
Hi Julius,
Thanks for getting in touch with finder. I hope all is well with you. :)
WorldFirst and Payoneer aren’t the same and they provide different services and feature. If you want to get paid online, you would need to ask your payer if WorldFirst could be one of their payment methods.
Regarding Clickbank, I checked and WorldFirst isn’t specifically mentioned as one of the payment methods. Their page mentioned you can get paid through direct deposit, wire transfer, check, and Payoneer. However, there’s an option where you can contact ClickBank Accounting department to inquire about the WorldFirst and check if it is possible.
I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach us out again.
Have a wonderful day!
Cheers,
Joshua
